narrator not good

So sorry to be negative. I have loaded this onto Kindle now so that I can read it and the story is excellent. But the narration is absolutely awful. It might be better if it were read by someone with a Cornish accent. Because the attempts at Cornish accent are embarrassing ( No Im not Cornish). after about an hour I just couldn't stand any more. A real shame because I think it must put others off too.

A slow start but keep going

I struggled to begin with, the storyline didn’t grab me at first but I rarely give in. So glad I didn’t. Little by little I got involved and felt I wanted to be part of it all. Lovely story about how easily a family can be broken apart but with time, love and willingness to listen things can begin to look up.

Merry Christmas and comforting

It lost its way a bit from chapter 24 became somewhat dull then, it picked up again towards the end. I thought it was a very good listen giving the narrator top marks.
